Building a bouncing bomb

[Gilly]

This was on Channel 4 over here last week.
Dont know if you can watch it outside of the UK but following a Cambridge professor recreating the tests that Barnes Wallace did before heading to Canada to test it in real life. They build a mini-eider dam and then see if they can hit it....

I watched this twice already. Some of the Canadian prose is just hilarious.
